Stereotypes about people with disabilities vary some with the particular disability, but here are a few:
* That they are less intelligent * that they are lazy/malingering/making it up if disability is not visible * that they expect easier treatment (as opposed to the legally required 'reasonable accommodation) * that they can't answer for themselves (so people speak only to the companion)
* that they are all very sweet (or all very mean) * that they cannot do regular tasks not related to their disability (eg, paraplegics still might like to go to movies, watch Basketball games, or knit, still can work in an office or retail store) * that they are fragile in ways unrelated to the disability. * that they are a liability rather than an asset (eg, Greyhound buslines used to require the disabled to provide a doctor's note in order to get on the bus, regardless of the disability) * that they are all the same, and personal needs and preferences are irrelevant/nonexistant
